Climate and salinity together control above ground carbon accumulation in the Sundarbans mangrove ecosystem (2024)
Journal Article
Chowdhury, M. Q., Sarker, S. K., Marma, M., Rahman, M. S., & Datta, A. (2024). Climate and salinity together control above ground carbon accumulation in the Sundarbans mangrove ecosystem. Ocean & Coastal Management, 255, Article 107242. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocecoaman.2024.107242

Mangroves play a crucial role in mitigating climate change through carbon (C) accumulation. Developing robust methods for the estimation of long-term C accumulation is essential for monitoring and reporting carbon financing projects under different g...

Variations in biophysical characteristics of mangroves along retreating and advancing shorelines (2024)
Journal Article
Bhargava Gajre, R., Rahman, M. S., Ghosh, T., & Friess, D. A. (2024). Variations in biophysical characteristics of mangroves along retreating and advancing shorelines. Science of the Total Environment, 926, Article 171690. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.171690

Mangrove shoreline retreat or advance is a natural process in a mangrove delta. However, due to various natural and anthropogenic stressors, mangrove shoreline retreat is the second largest cause of mangrove loss globally. It is important to understa...
